The STATE OF TRADE.
1t Continues Good in Spite of the
Present Strikes.

Present Strikes.
New YORK, Jan. 2S.-The following is
from r. G. Dun & CO.. weekly trade re-
view: The strength of the markets is note
worthy in view of the labor troubles which
have affected the weeks business more
than many realize. The strikes of the coal
handlers and longshoremen affect not only
the coal trade. but the exports of grain,
provisions and cotton. The Massachusetts
movement for free shops" having nearly
stopped boot and shoe manufacturing in
important localities. affects that business
and the leather trade. Actual and threat
ened strikes Of carpet weavers affect the
wool trade. Speculation has Jagged.
Wheat after advancing to "a cents,
weakened because exports were
checked, and closed a week ago.
with corn shade lower and oats a shade
higher. Cotton, coffee, sugar and pork
products are unchanged, oil cent lower
and cattle little lower. Receipts Of Texas
meat in London call attention to the grow
ing dressed meat traffic. In 1883 the ship
ments of cattle to New York and New
England were 493, 600 tons. and of dressed
beef 1873, 900 tons. In 1856 the cattle ship
lnents were only 332, 600. while dressed
beef shipments were 223. 900 tons. The
New York average price of cattle for 1886
was half cent lower than for 1885, and
probably the lowest yearly average for
twenty-five years. The butter trade is also
dull and values uncertain. In tobacco
there is no improvement and last
years average for wheat was about
the lowest on record at New York as in
Great Britain. Dry goods tend upward at
present, print cloths and many varities of
brown, bleached and printed cottons hav-
ing advanced during the week, with active
trade. Woolens fail to advance. In spite
of higher foreign prices for wool, yarns and
goods, and higher prices for wool, goods
generally open at last years prices, with
chevots about per cent. lower, and
worsteds offered with hesitation. Iron con-
tinues to strengthen. The speculative fever
fills Southern papers with notices of new
corporations, and conservative journals
utter warnings. The business failures dur
ing the last seven days number: For the
United States. 236; for Canada, 35; total
of 371. against 80 last week. 1923 the week

The PIeuro-Pneumonia Bill.

OpSSJdl " luc OlODG.s
w WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Mr. Hatch,
chairman of the house committee on agri-
culture, said to-day that the reason why the
committee did not take up the pleuro-pneu-
monia bill, known as the Miller bill, was
that the committee suspected there was a
job in that bill to favor Chicago cattlemen.
Mr.. Hatch says the Miller bill made it per
fectly possible for shippers to mass guam
tity of cattle in Chicago, and, in case of a
low market slaughter them and make the
government pay for them under pretext of
their being infected by pleuro- pneumonia,
The members of the Minnesota delegation,
with the exception of Milo White. while
they would like to comply with the wishes
OF the Minnesota cattle growers and urge
the adoption of the Miller bill, are not fully
convinced that they will vote for any bill on
